No, because the kernel lacks serio hotplug support.

Why do you need to detect them?
Usually the right modules are loaded by hotplug and the xorg entry is
identical for most mouse types:
(works only for 2.6 kernel)
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Buttons" "7"
EndSection

that should work for ps2 or usb .. serial is another thing, because
the kernel does not know about it .. fortunately its very rarely used.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Good, because now I can replace kudzu by discover to detect the
graphical card. I believe that it is better.
Thanks

That doesn't work all that well for touchpads, though arguably
part of the problem there is that the kernel touchpad drivers
still have glitches ...

If you're using 2.6, just use /dev/input/mice, it should
Just Work.
